It's World War II and eight-year-old Mari, along with 120,000 innocent Americans, is deprived of her rights, possessions, and freedom by the United States government. Under such staggering circumstances, how does a child cope?

A Place Where Sunflowers Grow is the only children's book about the incarceration in a bilingual English and Japanese format. Lee-Tai's gentle prose and Hoshino's stunning illustrations make this the perfect book for any age. Book signing to follow.
